Hotel 1829 welcomes the community to “Lime at 1829” Friday from 5 – 9 p.m. The evening celebrates history and culture while raising funds for the St. Thomas Historical Trust, supporting its mission “to identify, protect and preserve the history, sites and culture of St. Thomas.”
Founded in 1966, the St. Thomas Historical Trust safeguards St. Thomas’ historic landmarks, including Hassel Island’s military structures, and Charlotte Amalie’s step streets. The organization operates the territory’s primary history museum on Raadets Gade, featuring precolonial artifacts, photographs, books and furnishings documenting the island’s development from colonial times through the 20th century. The St. Thomas Historical Trust offers walking tours, lectures, and cultural events to engage the community in the island’s history.
The evening will celebrate Caribbean heritage with performances by the Mungo Niles Cultural Dancers, live music by Gary August, food and beverage sales, and a 50/50 raffle. Proceeds will fund the trust’s preservation work and education initiatives.
Come enjoy the newly reopened Hotel 1829, located in the heart of Charlotte Amalie, and support the ongoing restoration efforts.
